Wow, it is worth to live in Boston and have a day of miserable rain.

I really like what I was getting with CD and I have a few very interesting results coming that should be even more exiting, at least one of them is more defiantly is very exciting – the another revision of my Bidat. I will post about it as time came by… However, today I have no Bidat and nothing can properly run my TL0transport. The Pacific does very well but it too cumbersome and Lavry has no proper upper bass harmonics with my TL0.

However, it was miserable rain and I was officially bored. I was looking at my Lavry DA-924 as asked it why you the bitch do not run well from my CD transport.  The upper bas and lover mid is kind of weak region of CEC TL0 and it was not right. But it was rain and the wondering hands were itching…. I figured that Mr. Lavry will be very pissed but to piss people is my specially… and I went for it.

It took 2.5 hours and the result… why the hell I did not do it before? I just got a phenomenal uppers bass from Lavry DAC + a few others very-very interesting effects. I will not finales my comment and will do them in month (I have good experience with some parts I put in the unit and I know how then change sound with time – in 30 days it will be over) but at this moment (and I know how those parts should sound juts installed) the result are spectacularly good (and not only in upper bass but in HF as well)

Ironically it was do very little. I opened the DAC and learned that Lavry use common standard recovery diodes in unit PS of the unit. The DAC used 8 x1N5401 and 2 x1N4002 diodes. They are 3A 100V. I put in 10 Schottky 31DQ09 90V 3.3A with no reverse recovery and replaced all power caps with Nichicon Muze KZ. (The only cap that I respect for SS)  How simple it is but how funny the result! The upperbass made sound so LARGE that it is actually not funny, evens though the small size never was Lavry problems. However, the most important I got successfully lost that mean HF Lavry’s extension that I always hated. Now Lavry sound almost like Bidat at HF….

Sure, the Muze KZ will sound all, over for the next week and in a certain degree month and I will see when it settles down. How good would it be if the engineers of Dan Lavry caliber sometime listen what they do and invest $3.45 into this unit to get THIS results.
